Silver Lining 8"x 10" oil on canvas
Happy New Year to everyone and I hope this year brings health and happiness for you. My painting to start off 2012 is actually the second one I painted of the year. I wanted to try use an acrylic mid-value color under my oil painting, but the first effort just didn't cut it! I knew what was wrong though...I needed more grip in the surface for the 'brush feel' that I like. I used some clear acrylic gesso in the mix for this painting and it was much better. It reminds me that as far as resolutions go, perhaps my best bet is to be persistent and keep searching for the silver lining.

What a sky, so full of air and movement. So glad to see "sold" (so well deserved!).
